We use the past tense to talk about:

something that happened once in the past:

I met my wife in 1983.
We went to Spain for our holidays.
They got home very late last night.

something that happened several times in the past:

When I was a boy, I walked a mile to school every day.
We swam a lot while we were on holiday.
They always enjoyed visiting their friends.

something that was true for some time in the past:

I lived abroad for ten years.
He enjoyed being a student.
She played a lot of tennis when she was younger.

we often use expressions with ago with the past simple:

I met my wife a long time ago.

Past simple questions and negatives

We use did to make questions with the past simple:

Did she play tennis when she was younger?
Did you live abroad?
When did you meet your wife?
Where did you go for your holidays?

But questions with who often don’t use did:

Who discovered penicillin?
Who wrote Don Quixote?

We use didn’t (did not) to make negatives with the past simple:

They didn’t go to Spain this year.
We didn’t get home until very late last night.
I didn’t see you yesterday.

Past continuous

Learn how to use the past continuous to talk about the past, and do the exercises to practise using it.

Level: beginner

The past continuous is made from the past tense of the verb be and the –ing form of a verb:

I was
You were
He was
She was
It was
We were
You were
They were

working
playing
living
talkingetc.

We use the past continuous to talk about the past:

for something which happened before and after another action:

The children were doing their homework when I got home.

Compare: The children did their homework when (= after) I got home.

This use of the past continuous is very common at the beginning of a story:

The other day I was waiting for a bus when …
Last week, as I was driving to work, …

for something that happened before and after a specific time:

It was eight o’clock. I was writing a letter.

Compare: At eight o’clock I wrote (= started writing) some letters.

to show that something continued for some time:

My head was aching.
Everyone was shouting.

for something that happened again and again:

I was practising every day, three times a day.
They were meeting secretly after school.
They were always quarrelling.

with verbs which show change or growth:

The children were growing up quickly.
Her English was improving.
My hair was going grey.
The town was changing quickly.

We do not normally use the past continuous with stative verbs. We use the past simple instead:

When I got home, I really needed (NOT ~~was needing~~) a shower.

Past Simple ժ/ձևում կոնկրետ ժ/հատվածն օգտագործվում է ցույց տալու համար, թե երբ է գործողությունը սկսվել կամ ավարտվել, իսկ Past Continuousն ուղղակի ընդհատում է գործողությունը:

Օրինակ՝

Last night at 6 PM I ate dinner. (Ես սկսեցի ուտելս ժամը 6ին)

Last night at 6 PM I was eating dinner (Ավելի շուտ էի սկսել ուտելս, իսկ ժամը 6ին գործողությունն ընթացքի մեջ էր)

Գործածություն N3

Զուգահեռ տեղի ունեցող գործողություններ
